Summary
Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) faces planned workforce reductions as part of budget-cutting measures to avert a projected deficit that could reach $3.6 billion. District officials must develop plans that will result in the loss of more than 6,000 jobs in the roughly 83,000-employee system; the article describes these cuts as upcoming measures to offset the shortfall. Unpaid furlough days are also included in the district plan, and unions have so far resisted the proposals. The article places these planned cuts in the wider context of declining enrollment, leadership upheaval, safety concerns after a nearby warehouse fire, and union responses around custodial and gardening staff reductions.
